Guilty. As. Charged.
(But not charged that much.)
Let me let you in on a little secret.
My Hero-piece of this shoot? yeah, the suede Nascar Jacket.
35$ in a Vintage store in New Jersey... *mic drop*
Ergo, introduced, is our topic of the day: the glorious power of unique.
Here is my simple rules and formula for dressing FASHIONABLY
Let me give you some quick examples of what I'm talking about...
- See through tattoo shirt = unique. Walking your dog in dungarees = causal. OVERALL = Fashionable!
- Jeans and a shirt: how casual/normal can you get? BAM. Bandana as a choker: unique! Elevates the whole outfit to fashionable levels.
- A Silk Cami top + a Polo Neck top = both casual but together they are unique!!
And what do they all have in common: CANVASED ON A CLASSIC. Like dungarees! Or a womens shirt!
It is fine line people... but do it well... and you will be looking capital 's' Sharp.
Take a look at my favourite unique pieces and how I style them...
THE VINTAGE SUEDE
NASCAR RACING JACKET
What a classic. Paired here with a monochrome outfit and silver
Here I paired the jacket with some blue jeans for an all-American look.
The Leopard Loafers cut the Americana before is gets too.. Americana..
(i.e. sneakers? A baseball cap? A Coca-cola in hand?)
Wild touch with my favourite bone and gold hendrix Lili-Claspe Necklace!
Mesh shirt gives it a little more of a hard edge.
Thinking about my sponsors... (Which include Fritos and Pepsi.. mmm..)
Diamante Heel for that extra sass.
TATOO SHIRT
It's a show-stopper.
Paired with a blazer (You never go wrong with a blazer).
The dragon cuffs do add to the drama...
Lovely classic feminine Chanel flats.
(Buy flats in patent leather, not butter leather. London weather? Thank me later)
Doesn't it just look awesome?
"Where are my boobs?!"
Bonus points if you are wearing a cool bra.
A secret pop of red keeps it consistent.
THE SPANISH-YET-VINTAGE-MOSCHINO SHILOUETTE
Unique silhouette!
That craftsmanship though... #OldMoschino #TakeMeBack
Snake skin booties keeps the 'unique' vibe, vibing.
You have to feel zee outfit.
( Lili Claspe Again! )
Hair? Makeup? Why would you need such a thing
when you are dressed so uniquely! #ComplexBitch #BasicIsDead
Flattering shape on your bottom. By the way.
Loosely done Betty Boop knot makes for an unusual twist (no pun intended)
(okay maybe a little).
THE VINTAGE UGLY DESIGNER BAG
I mean ugly in the most endearing of ways.
It's just so off-trend, and so unique for it's time,
that when teleported back to the now: it has a
familiarity with a kitch weird twist!
Marvellous!!!
Perfect with a simple outfit like this one though!
The bag is like a lap dog: everyone will want to say hello.
This freaking cafe in East London is the cutest: Pitfield Cafe!
It's so tacky I love it.
That's all folks!!!
But first some bloopers of me enjoying our set location a little too much!!
Moustache-you to ... wipe your face you goon.
Stuffing my face accordingly.
Even more reason to visit? Vintage Star Wars pod-racing Arcade Machine!!
Until next time!!
(P.s. Special thank you to Laura who styled and photographed all these photos! Don't you just love her aesthetic?? I mean look at that one above! Wow!)
